Description: | Brough is a village off the modern A66. This ruined castle lies on the top of a cliff known Swindale Beck. It was built as a stronghold for William Rufus around 1095 on the site of a Roman fort. The keep was then rebuilt after the castle was besieged by William the Lion, King of Scotland, in 1174. A hall range was built in 14th century, but the castle fell gradually into ruin after it was struck by fires in 1521 and 1666. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
